PLAST-O-MATIC LMBV LATERAL REDUCING BALL VALVE

Descriptions of PLAST-O-MATIC LMBV

Plast-O-Matic Trunnion Ball Valves are available with an adapter for easy and compact connection to standard plumbing tees, resulting in substantially stronger and more compact valve connection to lateral piping. This design eliminates the need for a reducer, additional length of pipe, and one of the true union connections on the ball valve.
• Faster plumbing – reduces labor.
• The overall length is shorter; valve body is partly inside the plumbing tee.
• Design enables removal of valve and access to internals.
• Design resists piping stresses better than traditional, “reducer” connections.
• Eliminates potential variations in pipefitting.
• Assembly is stronger than pipe and reducer.
• Valve body features trunnion design, reinforced shaft, PTFE seats and bearings – million cycle design.
• Available in PVC, Corzan CPVC, Polypro or Kynar PVDF.

Technical specifications of PLAST-O-MATIC LMBV

The LMBV product consists of an adapter and an MBV with only one NPT and one socket union end. The adapter has the same outside diameter as pipe, and is designed to be solvent cemented (PVC, CPVC) or heat-fused (Polypropylene, PVDF) into a schedule 80 socket fitting–usually a tee. The other end of the valve (the NPT or socket union end) is connected to the piping system as usual.
